Ladies Only Today

Okay guys....advert your eyes.  This is meant for the ladies. Yeah...go on now.  Back to the ball game or the bar-b-que or whatever.  Out!

Now girls.  I wanna just talk amongst ourselves here.  You see there are times when you just need the opinion of another lady.  I have a lil credit built up to where I can treat myself (and Dear Hubby) to something a lil special.  And since it is not something I get to do too often I wanted to try a lil sexy outfit.  But I need your thoughts on what to get.  I want something that looks good on my plus size body yet has a lil flair to it.  Not all out there in  your face kinda thing ya' know.

I was looking over at EdenFantasys because they have a 70% off sale on lots of items.  And lingerie is on the list.  Also I liked that when I looked at an outfit for a plus size gal it was on a PLUS SIZE GAL!  (Don't you hate it to see it on a skinny mini when it is targeting us full figure gals?)  Anyway here are some I was checking out.  Tell me what you think would be a good idea?

This long all Red Moonlight Magic number had the sex appeal for my full figure without showing it all off.  I liked that there was a lil skin showing but in modest bits.  Lace is always nice especially when it is not completely see through.  At only $25.99 (that I have credit to cover it so no cost to me at all!) it is also a pretty modest price don't you think?


Next I was happy to see pink...my signature color of course.  It is called Wild in Ibiza!  Also listed as a dress but I think I would need leggings if it was worn anywhere at all.  I do not think I could get away with anything that short.  But at home fixing Dear Hubby a nice dinner, then, maybe?  Could see myself serving in this one.  It is a lil more at $45.99 but still I have the credit to cover it too.

And last on the list is a lil costume.  I like the lil ruffle tap shorts under it especially.  Has that flair while also providing coverage.  Plus size gals have to keep it in mind that even though there men do love them just the way they are, we still have to dress up the goods from time to time.  The black and pink is also appealing to me.  Sorta like a dressed up ol west saloon gal in this Bow Bustier with a price tag of  $50.39 on sale.  I would have to get the Garter Ruffle Panties seperate and that might be a lil harder for the plus size gal to find.  But there is a set for $16.49.  So this would be almost $67.00 for the outfit.

Well?  What do you think?  Which would you pick?  #1 in Red, #2 in Pink or #3 in Black?   Help me out.  I want it here by Valentine's Day.

Beat with 2 Winners Available Giveaway

I have had the kiddos here enough this last weekend. Was fun but need some time for me. The real me. That nitty gritty me. The one that has been pushing so hard on exercise, cleaning, getting the work around here done. So much so that yesterday I ended up walking 10 miles from all the task I had to accomplish. You bed my legs were sore.
But that is sometimes the way it goes. You know you can be mom, nonnie and that sweet lady at bible study for so long. Then that other you comes busting out. The one who longs for adventure, walking on the other side of the tracks. Well of course, I live my fantasy life in my books. That is why I am such an avid reader. And I adore a good mystery and thriller. Do you?

Well while I was reading my latest 'Beat', I have found that I am also going to give you a chance to win one of two of this book. I was taken with Hayden Glass who is not only a robbery homicide detective with the LAPD but has his own problem with trolling the internet looking for a fix for his addiction. Yes, like too many, he has fallen prey to his own job and is addicted to pornography. (Yes, you see that word here.) Like too many, this is an area that is pushed away from the surface and looked at only in the dark corners where no one is. But because of that, so many horrors can happen. Glass discovers that he has fallen into the trap of becoming involved and worrying about the object of his obsession. He finds a labyrinthine of crime rings and corruption in the sex-slave trade of San Francisco. And feels he has to not only save the girls involved. But better yet, he has to get a handle on his own addiction in order to be of any help to anyone else. It is hard enough to battle the demons outside but to do battle with the inner demons at the same time is a harder task.
I so enjoyed that this did not gloss over the parts of life we tend to ignore. But instead brought to life the humanity of our own deep obsessions. Weather it be to sex, food, love....whatever....there is so much that we want to be able to obtain. Often doing more harm to ourselves in the long run. Hayden Glass may be a hard nose cop but he is also human. And like us, wants to succeed in his own wars.
Stephen Jay Schwartz has done a great job of making Hayden Glass a full character. I think you would be drawn into his novel as much as I was. And to see if so, then you get a chance to win a copy of 'Beat'. I have two to giveaway to my readers. Of course all you have to do is leave a comment. Today's question for entry is, What is your demon you battle? Ouch, a hard one. But this way you too see we all have things to overcome. Mine? Depression and mental illness. I fight it daily. And some days I win even. Now make sure you leave me an email so I can notify you when you win. I will announce a the winners in two weeks too. Get ready to 'Beat' your problems too.
DISCLOSURE: I received a complimentary copy of this book to facilitate this review. No other compensation was provided.
